This forceful sequel to the author's earlier book, The Genesis Flood (coauthored with Dr. Henry M. Morris, now in its sixteenth printing), restates, updates, and defends in a more popular form the basic biblical and scientific evidence for the Genesis flood as a global catastrophe, for which abundant evidence is still to be seen. As in Dr. Whitcomb's earlier writings, this latest book unabashedly radiates an unshakeable faith in the authority and trustworthiness of the Word of God. Dr. Whitcomb maintains with vigor that the Bible straightforwardly declares and affirms a supernatural catastrophic flood of worldwide proportions, a declaration that is corroborated by scientific observations that are not warped by a uniformitarian bias in geology. Striking photos illustrating such phenomena as rapid formation of stalactites and stalagmites, the recent formation of the island of Surtsey, volcanic activity, and many other interesting subjects reinforce the message of the book. - Back cover
